Sinopse

Light, the cornerstone of vision and color, is explored in "Light Facts", which reveals the science governing its behavior and interactions. Light exhibits a fascinating wave-particle duality, acting as both a wave and a stream of particles called photons. This book sheds light (pun intended!) on how understanding light is fundamental, underpinning technologies like lasers and fiber optics, and informing our understanding of the universe.

 
The book journeys from historical theories to modern quantum electrodynamics, requiring no prior physics knowledge. It highlights intriguing aspects such as diffraction, interference, and the photoelectric effect, demonstrating light's wave-like and particle-like behaviors. Furthermore, it explores how light interacts with matter, giving rise to color and optical properties, and culminates in an analysis of lasers and vision, connecting physics with biology and chemistry. "Light Facts" stands out by balancing wave and particle perspectives, using experimental evidence and real-world applications.

 
Progressing through three sections, it first introduces wave-particle duality, then examines light's interaction with matter, and finally explores human perception of light and color. The approach makes complex concepts accessible to a broad audience, including students, amateur astronomers, and anyone curious about the physical world.

    The quest to find a theory of quantum gravity that could potentially explain everything.
    
    
    Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize-winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their observations. They had found the key to unravelling the story of the Big Bang and the origin of our universe.
    
    That signal was the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the Big Bang. It contains secrets about what happened during the very first tiny increments of time, which had consequences that have rippled throughout cosmic history, leading to the universe of stars and galaxies that we live in today.
    
    This is the enthralling story of the quest to understand the CMB radiation and what it can tell us of the origins of time and space, from bubble universes to a cyclical cosmos - and possibly leading to the elusive theory of quantum gravity itself.

    An acclaimed science writer tells the story of cosmic projectiles that may be on a collision course with our Earth. 
     
     
     
    The impact of an asteroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Could another giant cosmic missile soon be heading our way? In Target Earth, acclaimed Dutch astronomy writer Govert Schilling provides a full account of what we know, and need to know, about all the extraterrestrial matter constantly bombarding our planet—from microscopic dust particles and space debris to massive meteorites, comets, and asteroids. 
     
     
     
    Drawing upon the latest scientific discoveries, Schilling explores virtually every aspect of cosmic impacts—from small meteorites to devastating collisions, from the craters that marked our planet's surface to the impacts that left their mark on other celestial bodies, and from searches for near-miss lumps of rock to ways of protecting humanity from an assault from the cosmos. Along the way, he considers near misses in the past and the possibility of others in the future and ponders the positive side of these visitations from space: If our planet had not been the target of cosmic rubble from its very formation, life on Earth would likely never have gotten started.
